{For ye were bought with a price} ((8867)orasth(8874)e gar tim(8873)).
First aorist passive indicative of agoraz(935c), old verb to buy in
the marketplace (agora). With genitive of price. Paul does not
here state the price as Peter does in  1Pe 1:19  (the blood of
Christ) and as Jesus does in  Mt 20:28  (his life a ransom). The
Corinthians understood his meaning. {Glorify God therefore in
your body} (doxasate d(8820)ton theon en t(9369) s(936d)ati hum(936e)).
Passionate conclusion to his powerful argument against sexual
uncleanness. D(885c) is a shortened form of (8864)(885c) and is an urgent
inferential particle. See on 烊u 2:15|. Paul holds to his high
ideal of the destiny of the body and urges glorifying God in it.
Some of the later Christians felt that Paul's words could be
lightened a bit by adding "and in your spirits which are his,"
but these words are found only in late MSS. and are clearly not
genuine. Paul's argument stands four-square for the dignity of
the body as the sanctuary of the Holy Spirit united to the Lord
Jesus.
